Improved access for students of diversity and under-represented populations

Enrollment of students who are underrepresented students (these groups include students of color, low-income students and students whose parents did not attend college) increased 31.5% in fall semester 2009.

Fourteen percent of Anoka Technical College’s student body is ethnically and culturally diverse. This diverse population is proportionately larger than the diverse population within the primary service area of the college.

The incorporation of monthly Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity (SEED) workshops, helps to increase faculty, staff and student awareness of equity issues in the college and in the community.

The number of students of color who attend a Minnesota State College or University (MnSCU) has grown 80 percent. The system serves more students of color than any other higher education provider in Minnesota. The number of underrepresented students (these groups include students of color, low-income students and students whose parents did not attend college) fall semester 2009: 94,302
